The Beta Report

H I G H E R / F U R T H E R / F A S T E R / M O R E

The new trailer for Marvel’s first post Infinity War movie: Captain Marvel has just fallen from the skies and onto our screens and we are blown away! Strap in as we blast off into the cosmic realm and geek out over all of the Kree fighting, Skrull invading, Blockbuster crashing action that was shown in this epic trailer. Also, aside from just reacting to the trailer, we also offer up our own thoughts and theories of how this will connect to the Post Snap Era of Marvel films. Will Captain Marvel truly be the savior the Avengers—and the universe—truly needs? Listen to find out.

Oh, and we also talk about this thing called “The Emmy Awards”??? Your guess is as good as ours. We got all this and so much more, on this episode of The Beta Report.

With hidden clues, ancient civilizations, an iron serpent, and an international boogeyman, this Fall TV season is arguably more stacked than the upcoming movies coming out to close 2018. From Hulu to Netflix, FX to HBO, this year’s batch of Fall TV shows has your every binge watching need covered, and The Beta Boy’s break it all down to make sure you get to see everything worth watching on TV this fall.

We also have a “New Tune Tuesday…on Thursday” (we’re working on the name!) for you, a new batch of PICK(s) OF THE WEEK, and so much more on a new episode of The Beta Report.

The warm orange glow of Fall is slowly covering us like a well worn sweater. Summer is now a foregone memory and the adventures of the sun baked season call for the slow drawl of a forlorn autumn day. There’s nothing better on a cool autumn night than a good movie, and this Fall is chalk full of them! From Creed II, Widows, Ralph Breaks the Internet, to the hilarious misadventures of the new Will Ferrell and John C. Riley midcentury romp: Holmes & Watson, this fall is shaping up to be special. Listen in as The Beta Report breaks down all of the must see movies of the fall and, more importantly, the movies you should most definitely stay away from.

All that and so much more, on this week’s episode of The Beta Report.

Like with most things, it wouldn't really be The Beta Report if we weren't fashionably late...TO EVERYTHING! It's kind of our calling card. And though, timing is a factor for a movie's current relevance and impact, a great movie can always be judged by its timelessness and transcendent qualities. So, we've tirelessly scoured the pantheon of great movies that may have passed us by and compiled a few interesting choices of movies and TV shows that we missed on their initial release, but we highly suggest you watch. We're just a little late to the party, but the party never really gets started until we arrive. #TheBetaReportEffect #ItsReal

Also, we got a brand new PICK OF THE WEEK that is neither tame nor ordinary in any way.

From Allie and Noah in the Notebook, to Jim and Pam from The Office, some Movie and TV romances are too good to be make-believe. There are some timeless love stories in movies and television that transcend the confines of our screens and nestle deep in the warmest, most cuddliest parts of our hearts. We watch them and dwell on them, but then realize, its not real. But, what if, they weren't fake? What if, our favorite movie/TV romances could magically slip out of the screen, and just like the story of Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves actually getting married on the set of Dracula, their onscreen tales of love were actually, real? If this were the case, The KON and Jay give their favorite movie couples they wish could come true.

And, what's a good relationship without a few romantic rendezvous? A lovers getaway? A mid-summer soiree? Well, have no fear, because The Beta Bros have a few museum recommendations that will breath life into any love affair..while also satiating your hunger for adventure and excitement in the new world of dark tourism. There's nothing more romantic than the museum of ventriloquist dummies, Mexican mummy's, or Toilets in India! We got all this and so much more, on this week's episode of The Beta Report.

There's no better way to prime your way to the weekend than a little Cardi B and your favorite Podcast hosts trying to sing the words to a song they don't know. Let's get it!

Nothing says Cardi B and the weekend more than...Disney movies? That's right, from Cardi B to Disney Princesses to Live Action Disney Classic Remakes, this episode has a little bit of everything, for everyone. We discuss the new wave of female representation in Disney movies and we also give our first impressions of the live action Mulan movie and the first look at the titular character that was recently released.

Plus, as always, we have a killer new batch of recommendations for this week's PICK OF THE WEEK, and so much more.

The Meg. This really just happened. Confirmation by this week's TOP 5, Action Stars still bring people to theaters. But, are our current action stars just raking in our money without creating iconic characters? Are Jason Statham and The Rock synonymous with any of their characters in the same way The Terminator and John McClain are synonymous with Arnie and Bruce Willy? The Beta Bros discuss.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting: A TBR Joint. We bring you just a little bit of STATIC. A story about the right hand and the left hand, good and evil, love and hate: Blackkklansman and The Meg, Spike Lee and Jason Statham. The Beta Bros have a fresh new GO/NO GO featuring the return of the man, the myth, the legend: Spike Lee and his new film Blackkklansman. Does Spike have more juice than Statham to bring people to theaters? Is a great director more attractive than a great action star? The boy's discuss. 

We also have a brand new STREAM COME TRUE featuring a Youtube channel you should all be following and a 90's action classic that we've all probably erased from our minds. And, for the first time, in a long time, we have a unanimous winner for this week's PICK OF THE WEEK. All that, and so much more, on this week's episode of The Beta Report.

Oh and remember...Always do the right thing. Got it? Got it. I'm gone.

Our last episode was all for the fellas. It was mustaches and fist reloads. But today, we got a little something for the ladies! That's right, TBR is singing all their way to Greece with Special Guest, Claudia Ruano who reviews the ABBA extravaganza musical Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. WARNING: There will be MAJOR SPOILERS! Is that, a ghost?

Jay also gives his review of the new Disney movie Christopher Robin. This heartwarming tale tackles some major issues about adulthood, vocation, happiness and imagination. Does Disney have another classic on their hands? Also, The KON shares his final thoughts on Mission Impossible: Fallout. Is it time for Tom Cruise to hang it up? Tune in to find out the answers to all of these questions.

We got all this and so much more, on this week's episode of The Beta Report.

Get ready to wear your most basic button-up in your closet and reload your fists, 'cause The Beta Report is giving you the keys to growing your mustache like Henry Cavill. Guys, you're gonna want to listen to this one. And Girls, get ready to swoon over the sound of cotton shirts flapping in the wind and wispy mustache hairs growing in seconds. We're talking about Mission Impossible: Fall Out and its going to be glorious.
